I have a question about this section of the common app; the way this question is worded has me confused. For reference:
“Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at any educational institution you have attended from the 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in a disciplinary action? These actions could include, but are not limited to: probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from the institution.”
They seem to be purposefully vague around something happening over the summer. For me, I had disciplinary action taken against me at a summer program, which was actually at an academic institution. Do I need to talk about this in the common app? Clearly from the way its worded, if this had happened at any summer program like a boating camp or something I would not have to talk about it. But since this program was at a school, does this mean I need to talk about it?
